8-27-15 Truman Takes Over the Railroads in 2:00


http://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/e/august-27-truman-takes-over-the-railroads/




On this day in Labor History the year was 1950. At 4 pm that day the US Army completed its take-over of the country’s railroads.

They were acting on the orders of President Truman.

2:00 minute audio at link.

The Rick Smith radio show has some fans trying to get his show on Sirius/XM.

I post his labor history in 2:00 on the DU every day with a great response.

Please help make this happen.
